2013-14: Outlook
Lisa Andersson is a fierce competitor joining the Huskers as a freshman as a part of the five new players coming in. Andersson plays a strong game in singles and that could transition to the doubles court and help her to see time in both areas.
“Lisa has a big game and plays an attacking style,” said Head Coach Scott Jacobson. “We believe the hard courts will benefit her once she becomes accustomed to the court surface. Lisa has good hands around the net, will transition with aggression when the opportunity presents itself. She will be a tremendous benefit to us in both singles and doubles this upcoming season.”
Before Nebraska
Andersson played and studied tennis at the National Tennis Center in Bastad, Sweden and also played for Varberg's Tennis Club. Andersson was ranked No. 7 nationally in her age group and No. 34 overall in Sweden. Andersson was a Swedish National Team Championship Finalist and a National Team Championship Doubles runner-up.
Personal
A native of Varberg, Sweden, Andersson is the daughter of Christina and Michael Andersson and has one brother, Marcus, 17. Andersson is a good friend of former Huskers Wiveca Swarting. Andersson has not declared a major studying for her bachelor's degree from Nebraska.
Why Andersson Chose Nebraska
"I chose Nebraska because it provides great opportunities in both tennis and academics. The team is excellent and the coaches are very nice and easy to work with. I can't wait to get started."
